@ryansolid.bsky.social thanks for the discussion on stream today! You asked on stream today to show you a trello or otherwise sufficiently complex app in datastar. Here is that as as well as a few others that opened my eyes a bit, as a former skeptic. kanban.jsonbateman.com

Not trying to be a dick by highlighting some examples, rather trying to share some of the magic that I've recently found. I get it. I used to dismiss hypermedia apps (and still do think HTMX doesn't go far enough) for richly interactive apps. But there are examples out there.

And before someone says these are toys or whatever, here is David Nolen discussing how he also shared the same viewpoints before, tried sync engines for what is effectively a Quickbooks app, and ultimately found Datastar to be the best solution for them.

To be clear: I love Solid and have learned a lot on your streams over the years but felt like there was a bit of dismissal as to the current reality of hypermedia as an option *also for highly interactive apps*, particularly Datastar.
